Deage Aqua Lift Review

Deage* is a skincare brand that has been on my wish list forever, so when they kindly sent me their Aqua Lift Serum I couldn't wait to try it! I've been using this for just over two weeks, which I feel is long enough to have gained a good opinion of whether the product is worth purchasing.

First off, I have really dry skin from being on Accutane and somehow my skin has gotten even drier since I finished my treatment. I would say hydration is my main skincare concern. For me, a hydration serum is working if I can see a difference when I wear makeup. This may sound odd, but  I feel like makeup accentuates any dry patches I have, so if my makeup glides on better and looks smoother, it's usually from a skincare product.

The packaging.... I'm obsessed. The sleek cylinder, the gold writing and not to mention the pump. I adore the design and packaging, it looks so beautiful in a bathroom cabinet or vanity and is super travel friendly. The pump also provides the perfect amount of product.

The formula is a very thin gel, with a slightly cloudy appearance. The Aqua Lift is formulated with blue ginger which; hydrates, plumps, lifts and firms the skin. The Serum also contains Hyaluron_D3 and patented skin fusion technology.

My skin has felt a lot less tight since using this and a lot more hydrated. My left cheek is particularly dry and I find most makeup products cake or emphasise my texture. But since I've used the Aqua Lift Serum I haven't noticed my makeup caking anywhere. This also hasn't broken me out!

The downside... this product costs some serious coin. The 30ml serum costs 125 Euros... which is pretty expensive. Do I think you could find other hydrating serums for cheaper that work perfectly? Absolutely. There are plenty of serums out there that hydrate well for a lot less, but one thing I noticed with the Aqua Lift is how quickly the results have happened. Within one week I noticed a difference, compared to other products where the hydration in my skin did improve but took a lot longer.

I think if you are looking for a luxury hydrating serum that works, this is worth the splurge. The ingredients are great, the overall quality is incredible and I love it.

*Although this product was kindly sent to me, all opinions are my own.

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

 Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser  A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash.  If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner  Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
